RE: How do i make a boot floppy with MILO and linload.exe ???

[Alex Ponnath <alexp nextcom net>]

Hi,

i used
ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/DEC/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader/latest-Images/AlphaS
tation%20200 which looks to me to be the right file since
it is labeled AlphaStation 200 an i have an alphastation 200 4/233

so i think this is not the problem, or am i wrong ???

Alex

make sure that milo is for your motherboard!  It has to be specific or
it will not work.
